I wanted to read about the debate right afterward, so I began the article “Trump and Biden mix it up over policy and each other in a debate that turns deeply personal” (June 28, TribLive), not expecting anything really helpful. Boy, was I right. I only got about three or paragraphs into the article and I thought “I’m wasting my time.” Looking up at the byline, I saw it was written by the AP and I realized why it was unreadable. The AP is so biased they’ve lost all credibility.

The writer stated (off-handedly) that Trump spoke “with plenty of falsehoods.” So it’s proven they are falsehoods? Not to my satisfaction. No hint was given that this was an opinion (which it was); it was reported as fact.

Trump’s economy was terrific before covid hit and his border was secured, as much as the “opposition” would let him. People across the spectrum of this country were doing well. President Biden, on the other hand, lied hurtfully: “No American lives were lost” under his watch. The families of those lost in Afghanistan and Jordan should be outraged.

Politicians lie, exaggerate and mislead constantly. They all do. I maintain Biden’s are worse.
